Kate sat at her desk and began to write, she had not written to her mother in a long time. Her father was away at war and Kate had been sent to live in the country, all on her own. Her days were filled with boredom, she wrote letters and read for the most part. It was in the evening of one of these dull days that it happened. She had just decided to go to bed when she heard a loud thump from the floor above. Kate thought this was strange as the upper floors were unlived in. Deciding to investigate she headed up the large staircase and looked around, there was nothing unusual. She went into her room and still there was nothing, giving up, Kate turned to go back down stairs when she felt a strange sensation in her stomach, it was as if she were flying. She felt as though she were spinning and her vision went blurry. She suddenly felt very faint and reached for the banister to find that it wasn't there anymore. She closed her eyes in fear and felt the world slipping away into blackness.

When she regained consciousness she found that she was lying on a blanket outside in a wood or forest. At this she let out a yell of fright and started to get up, "I wouldn't get up yet, you banged your head and you may have a concussion," said a male voice. Kate looked around to see two people sat on a log staring at her.There was a young, sweet looking girl who smiled kindly at her and a tall handsome boy with golden hair and deep blue eyes. Kate sat up ignoring the boys advice only to feel a wave of nausea come over her and collapse on the ground again. The girl and boy got up quickly and came over to her, the boy knelt beside her and helped her to sit up slowly and propped her up against a tree stump. "Well I did tell you," he chuckled, Kate glared at him and he cleared his throat. "Well anyway, I guess you are probably wondering where on earth you are." Kate looked at him like he was an idiot and he grinned, "I thought so, well you see … your not in England anymore. You are from England? Aren't you?" Kate raised her eyebrows and said sharply, "Of course I am from England and what the hell do you mean we aren't there anymore." At this point the young girl chimed in, saying, "You are in a different world entirely! This is Narnia a land of talking beasts and magic beyond your wildest dreams." Kate looked at them both as if they were crazy, the boy then said, "I can prove it you know." He then whistled and out from the trees appeared two horses, the boy then spoke to them, "Hello you two, would you please introduce yourselves to …" He paused at this point, realising he did not know her name, "Forgive me what is your name," Kate told him and he continued, "Introduce yourselves to Lady Kate here from my world." Kate looked at him as if he was completely insane, but she then received the shock of her life, the horses bowed on their forelegs and spoke to her! She looked at the boy and girl for help but they were laughing to themselves, "You see everything we say is true!" the girl said with a smile. "Well who are you two then," Kate asked, the boy stood up at this and bowed to her. "I am High King Peter and this is my sister Queen Lucy, I have a brother - King Edmund and another sister - Queen Susan." Kate just blinked at them and murmured, "Blimey," under her breath.

Lucy gazed up at the sky and turned to Peter saying, "It's getting dark Peter, we should head back to Cair Paravel. We can tell her more on the way!" Peter nodded and knelt down next to Kate, taking her arm gently he helped her to stand and then lifted her onto his horse. "You will ride with me, for I will be able to support you if you faint again." Kate blushed slightly at the idea of them sharing a horse but knew she had little choice in the matter. Peter mounted behind her and reached around her to grasp the reigns. Kate could not help leaning back slightly against his strong chest and sighing. Peter felt his stomach flutter for a moment before he composed himself and they began their journey to the castle. Before long Kate was asleep in his arms and when they arrived he lifted her carefully off the horse and carried her to the room next to his own. He placed her on the bed softly and covered her with a blanket before leaving her to rest.

The next morning Kate awoke to find Lucy sat in a chair near her bed with another older girl next to her, "What are you doing here?" Kate asked sleepily. Lucy laughed and said, "We are here to help you dress!" The older girl smiled kindly and said, "I am Susan, it is lovely to meet you." Kate smiled and soon the two girls had her sat at her vanity table. They put her in a beautiful deep blue dress that had silver cuffs and embroidery, then they brushed her hair and put it up into a half ponytail leaving her long brown hair to flow over her shoulders. When Kate stood to look in the mirror she hardly recognised herself, she had always been considered a pretty girl but even she admitted she looked rather nice. "Wow, you two have done a great job!" she exclaimed. The two Queen's beamed proudly and led her down to breakfast where Peter was sat waiting. He stood as they entered and gazed at Kate, she seemed to glow as she walked towards the grand table. She was tall and moved gracefully as if she was gliding, he let out a breath he hadn't realised he had been holding, "You look … beautiful!" he said quietly, as if to himself but Kate heard and she blushed deeply. Lucy nudged Susan and raised her eyebrows and they both giggled, "Please sit down, we are just waiting on Edmund now," Peter said, taking hold of himself. Kate sat down on Peter's left and the sisters on his right, "Where on earth is Ed this time?" inquired Susan. "Probably still getting up!" chuckled Peter. "I resent that Peter," said a boy coming up and sitting next to Kate. "You must be Kate, I am King Edmund and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." Kate laughed, "You are rather eloquent dear King." At this the siblings laughed and the five began to eat their breakfast.

As they ate Kate could not help studying each of the Pevensie's, she found them fascinating. Peter looked to be somewhere around 18 and Susan could not have been older than 17. Edmund was harder to place although Kate suspected he was around 15 and little Lucy 13. Peter noticed her looking around and said, "You know you can ask us anything you want Kate." She laughed and said, "I was just trying to guess what ages you all are." Peter told her them and her guesses had been spot on, "Pray tell, what is your own age," asked Peter curiously. Kate laughed, "I suppose I am 18 in a week!" At this Lucy squealed, "Oh Peter we must have a ball to celebrate Kate's birthday!" Kate blushed at this and expected Peter to say no but he surprised her when he said, "I would have it no other way Lu, Susan will help you with the arrangements." Kate murmured something about not wanting to be any trouble but Edmund piped in, "Kate you are one of us now! We want to celebrate with you!" She smiled at him and looked around the table at the four royals, they were so kind to her, even though they had only just met.
